Ashton’s versatile live show is divided into two main sections - an acoustic set creating a sophisticated atmosphere with world rhythms & blues, gentle foot percussion & road stories from a road well travelled.  Then he rocks the blues, on a rollercoaster of funky, electric slide guitar, boogie & blues, this time with a full foot-operated drum kit.

He is a regualr fixture on folk, blues, rock & jazz festivals, venues, bars & radio stations, all over the world.  In 2023 Ashton co-headlined the Adelaide Guitar Festival &  released a single with Guns N Roses guitarist RICHARD FORTUS, & members of Cold Chisel & Superjesus.
